Wow! I'm replying to a 2 1/2 year old message. I wonder, are you
there?

Personally, I'm kind of liking the 7/8th scale of the Yamaha CS40.

Actually, I think a 15/16th scale would be really cool, if it
existed. Silly as it may seem, I would want a nylon, steel string,
and F-hole Florentine cut-away hollow body electric with these (15/16
scale classical) sort of dimensions because I hate the transition
between all my guitars.

Now, I'm wondering about how electric guitars have an arc to the
fingerboard. I've been feeling that perhaps the classical could use
a bit of an arc like that. Maybe not as much as the electric, but
still, some. Tell me, how would that be better? How would it be
worse? Why don't classicals have an arc?

Here's another thing that could change everything that needs to be
considered... http://www.novaxguitars.com/

A particularly interesting link at their site...

What was that all about? The harmonics that each string, having its
own scale length, will give off? The squeak of each string? Its
playability? I wish they had a left handed one for me to try out.

Anyhow, please do give me your thoughts on all this. Sound cool, or
am I just a nut?

Thanks,
Marco
